Highway to hell

The other day I was reading a book following the myth of Hades and Persephone. I love reading those as Hades is my favorite Greek God. The book is of course very romanticized which is probably one of the reasons I read it aside from the sex aspect 😉 while reading I wondered. How would it have been like living during the times when the Greek Gods existed? Did they even truly exist? And if they did how was their life? Once you start thinking of how it would have been like in a historical way and not the way they make it sound in a modern book you realize it would have probably been horrible. As someone who loves reading on kindle and Chinese martial arts novels I would have wanted to cry. I highly doubt they had romance novels then! I’m not even sure they had books!! But despite this living in Ancient Greece during those times sounds terrifying and mildly interesting. How did the people live back then? How did they dress? How did their houses look like? Were there social classes and how did each class live? History tells us a bit of how those times were but it can’t give us the whole picture. It would be truly fascinating seeing that time in history through my own eyes yet so scary! And imagine Greek Gods truly existed! How would they have looked like?? Sadly, time travel doesn’t exist so I’ll just go live in the world within my books.
